3 Ways to Not Miss Today's USA-Germany Match

By: Jerry Rizzo

Fans will huddle around their TVs, computers, and mobile devices to watch the U.S. play Germany in their group play finale on Thursday.

One point (a draw) vs. Germany is all that seperates the United States Men’s Soccer Team from the second round of the world’s biggest soccer stage. We probably…no... no...we definitely won’t want to miss this pow wow on the pitch.

According to Nielsen, the team’s last match tallied a record 18.2 million viewers who watched the ESPN broadcast making it the most-watched sporting event in network history that didn’t include a pigskin.

Most of us will be on the clock during today's 12:00 P.M. EST kick, but that shouldn’t halt our fandom. Afterall, it’s our patriotic duty to tune in.
